Sky Watch Friday

Late in the afternoon in Aveiro, a beautiful city of the coast.

"Located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, Aveiro is an industrial city with an important seaport.

Aveiro is known in Portugal for its traditional sweets, the ovos-moles and the trouxas de ovos both made from eggs. It is sometimes called "The Portuguese Venice", because of its canals and boats that remind one of the Italian city of Venice, as the city faced similar problems when it tried to conquer the water. The city is also famous for its production of salt and for its seaweed harvest, which is used for fertiliser in the area."
